Thanks, but what do people use in addition to OpenVAS?

 

OpenVAS didn’t catch any of the first things I tried on Windows 7:

 

A non-Admin user in the backup group (thereby easily gaining access to 
everybody’s files);

A non-Admin user having permission to access Event logs;

Didn’t check that UAC was set to Never Notify;

Didn’t appear to check Local Policies -> Security Options such as “Domain 
member: Digitally sign secure channel data” or “Network access: Let everyone 
permissions apply to anonymous users”

A non-standard hidden file executed by Task Scheduler.

 

The following were only logged and not considered a vulnerability: 

Telnet active (it only logged “Detect Server type and version via Telnet”);

A user share open to everybody.

 

These are just the first ones I tried, other than OS updates it didn’t catch 
anything I tried, I suspect I can find many more.

There's no such thing as the ultimate tool.

 

The purpose of Metasploit is totally different than 
OpenVAS/Nexpose/Nessus/Qualys.

 

What vulns is OpenVAS missing?

used as well?

 

For example, if you’re using OpenVAS, should you also be using Metasploit?  Are 
there other tools that are good complements to OpenVAS?

 

The main reason I’m asking is that it’s not too hard to find vulnerabilities 
that OpenVAS doesn’t report for both Windows and Linux.
